Changelog

v1.0.18 (2026-09-27)Copy Anchor Link

Recommended for everyone, and especially for servers on 1.0.17. Nothing has to be changed by hand, your settings are carried over. The auto updater goes straight from 1.0.16 to 1.0.18.

FixesCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Commands you had switched off came back on after 1.0.17. /enderchest, /staffchat and /blocklog are called ec, sc and bl in the configuration since then, and the old entries were no longer read. The update moves the setting and any custom aliases over, and also repairs servers that are already on 1.0.17
• Fixed: The first start after an auto update skipped the new configuration keys and messages until the next restart
• Fixed: An update through the updater of 1.0.16 could be undone later. On Paper 1.21 the old updater wrote the new version into Paper's working copy instead of the plugins folder. The new version is put into the plugins folder on the next shutdown
• Fixed: /bl deathrestore could hand out the same inventory twice when it was called twice in quick succession
• Fixed: Muted players could still write to offline players with /msg
• Fixed: AntiVPN no longer slows down every join while its check service is unreachable. Failures are remembered for a minute, three in a row pause the checks for five minutes, and every request has a hard deadline. Local, CGNAT and IPv6 link-local addresses are recognised, and a RiskScoreThreshold of 0 no longer blocks everyone
• Fixed: Shared data in MySQL is written in the right order
• Fixed: Auction prices have to be real numbers, /report has a cooldown, and the claim index is rebuilt on /mues reload

SecurityCopy Anchor Link

• Changed: The updater only uses https for the update source and the download, and the file has to match the published checksum
• Changed: Safer MySQL defaults with an encrypted connection where available and a dedicated user instead of root. Existing setups are only changed while MySQL is switched off; with MySQL on, the start warns about an unencrypted connection, root or an empty password

v1.0.17 (2026-09-20)Copy Anchor Link

A large maintenance release out of a full review of the plugin. Nothing has to be changed by hand, and no permission that worked before stops working.

NewCopy Anchor Link

• New: /tpahere <player> asks a player to teleport to you, the counterpart to /tpa
• New: /tptoggle [on|off] blocks incoming teleport requests, /msgtoggle [on|off] blocks incoming private messages. Both remember the setting across restarts, and staff can still reach a player with muteessentials.tptoggle.bypass or muteessentials.msgtoggle.bypass
• New: The first operator who joins after an update is told about it and gets clickable links to this changelog and to the support Discord. Configurable with Update.ChangelogUrl and Update.ShowChangelogOnJoin
• New: muteessentials.clan.admin lets staff act inside a team without holding the role

Block logCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Container contents come back at all. A rollback restored the block but wrote the items into a snapshot that was discarded right afterwards, so every chest, barrel, furnace and shulker box came back empty
• Fixed: Double chests are put back together on rollback, each half keeps its own items, and a broken half no longer restores the neighbour's contents
• Fixed: An action another plugin cancelled is no longer written to the log. A claim that refused a placement produced an entry anyway, and a later rollback then deleted the block the rightful owner had built there since
• Fixed: TNT that a player lit is rolled back with that player, and so is the damage done by the fire they started. Both used to be filed under #tnt and #fire, so a rollback by player name undid none of it
• Fixed: Fire damage and destruction caused by entities is kept instead of being discarded on the way into the database
• New: A theft out of a container can be rolled back. The before and after contents were recorded all along and never used
• New: Paintings and item frames are restored with their facing, their art or their contents and rotation
• New: Bone meal, growing trees, mushrooms and sponges are logged. Hopper transfers can be logged with BlockLog.LogHopperTransfers, off by default because of the volume
• Fixed: Rolling back a broken container no longer duplicates its contents. The matching drops next to it are removed with it, and BlockLog.RestoreContainerContents turns that off
• Fixed: Pistons log the blocks they tear off, a retracting piston leaves no floating piston head, and entries from the same millisecond roll back in a defined order
• Fixed: A rollback only flags what it actually applied, waits for the log to be written before it reads it, and one failing entry no longer wedges it in a loop
• Fixed: A rollback finds what a player did under an earlier name, because it matches the account and not only the name
• Fixed: Rolling back a placed bed or door removes both halves, the farmland repair no longer turns jungle logs and soul sand into farmland, and restoring no longer triggers block physics
• New: BlockLog.RetentionDays replaces the fixed thirty days

ProtectionCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Container protection no longer fails open. A failed or unavailable lock database was indistinguishable from "this block is not locked", so every locked chest became free to open and break. Switching the ChestLock or AntiVPN module off now really stops it
• Fixed: Breaking one half of a locked double chest keeps the other half locked, and a container removed without a break event no longer leaves a dead lock behind that locks the next builder out of their own chest
• Fixed: The team menu asks for leader and officer like the commands do. Any member could delete all claims, remove trusted players and flip the claim flags

ItemsCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: /invsee cannot duplicate or delete items any more. The view was a snapshot and was written back in full on close, so anything the player picked up in the meantime was erased and anything they dropped came back
• Fixed: Menus are identified by their inventory holder instead of the window title. A renamed container could reach the click handler, and a restyled title stopped a menu from cancelling clicks at all
• Fixed: Cancelling an auction listing no longer duplicates the item, and a failed listing no longer loses it

Moderation and privacyCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: A ban kick is no longer replaced by the version warning when the reason contains a word like "incompatible"
• Fixed: Vanish survives advancements, /vanish messages and tab completion, and client detection no longer reveals the real name behind a nickname
• Fixed: /unban tab completion no longer shows the ban list to everyone
• Fixed: Moderation commands no longer freeze the server while a name is looked up, and /mute <nickname> hits the real account
• Fixed: A failed automatic ban keeps the warnings that triggered it. Its duration is configurable with WarnSystem.AutoBanDuration

Everything elseCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Messages arrive in the language of whoever reads them. Around a hundred of them always came in the server default
• Fixed: A kick for the wrong version, a full server or the whitelist shows the Discord invite instead of the raw placeholder
• Fixed: Home.Permission, TPA.Permission, Msg.Permission, ClanSystem.Permission and Update.Permission are asked now. The four player nodes ship with default: true, so nothing changes until you revoke them
• Fixed: /mues update download no longer overwrites the jar the server is running from. The download is staged in the update folder and applied on the next restart
• Fixed: Configuration and data files are written atomically, so a crash during the write cannot truncate data.yml
• Fixed: Every command can be switched off in config.yml. Twenty-three of them had no entry at all
• Fixed: MySQL rounds to cents, replaces a stale connection, and balance reads are cached for three seconds, which takes the sidebar off the database

v1.0.16 (2026-08-31)Copy Anchor Link

EconomyCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Transfers, deposits, withdrawals and balance changes now check whether the write actually reached the disk. A failed write is reported as a failure instead of quietly pretending the money moved, and a failed transfer puts both balances back
• Fixed: MySQL transfers verify the credit. If the receiving row cannot be updated, the whole transfer rolls back instead of committing a debit without a matching credit

v1.0.15 (2026-07-18)Copy Anchor Link

NicknamesCopy Anchor Link

• New: /nick <name> changes your name everywhere: chat, tab list, scoreboard, join and leave messages, private messages, /pay, /tpa, team invites and advancements. The nickname survives reloads and restarts
• New: /unnick removes a nickname (/nick off still works)
• New: PrefixSystem.NickOverheadName (default off, needs ProtocolLib): also rewrites the name above the head. The first time a player nicks, they are told that their own client may still show their real name to them, while everyone else sees the nickname
• New: /nick <name> <rank> lets staff pick a rank to appear as, capped at their own rank. Turn it off with Nick.AllowRankNick
• New: Nickname protection: a nickname cannot be the name of a real account, a name on the new Nick.Blacklist, a rank name (Nick.BlockRankNames) or a nickname another player is already wearing. muteessentials.nick.bypass lifts these limits
• New: Staff see through nicknames. Operators and holders of muteessentials.nick.see are shown RealName (Nick) in join and leave messages, /pay, /tpa, /msg, team invites, client detection and /check
• New: The admin GUI shows a player's current nickname and a nickname history with timestamps
• Fixed: Moderation always targets the real account. Warns, kicks, bans, ranks, gamemode, /eco, /check, /invsee and the block log resolve real names only, and their tab completion shows real names
• Fixed: A nickname can no longer smuggle colour codes past muteessentials.nick.colors, expand PlaceholderAPI placeholders, or break the chat format with a %

EconomyCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: /pay is atomic. Two payments arriving at once can no longer overwrite each other, and MySQL transfers run in a transaction
• Fixed: The auction house no longer uses read-modify-write, so a payment that arrives while someone is buying is not lost
• Fixed: A failed database write no longer reports success. Vault answers with a failure instead of letting a shop hand out goods for free, and /eco says so instead of claiming the money moved
• Fixed: A database read error can no longer wipe a balance to zero
• Fixed: /eco take reports the amount it actually removed rather than the amount requested
• Fixed: A mistyped name in /eco no longer creates an account for a player that does not exist
• Fixed: An auction listing whose item can no longer be read is refused instead of charging the buyer and delivering nothing. It shows as a placeholder rather than breaking the auction house for everyone
• Fixed: Auction mail can only be claimed by its recipient, and clicks in your own inventory are no longer treated as clicks in the auction view
• Fixed: An expired listing can no longer be bought in the window before cleanup, and expired listings no longer count against the listing limit

Prefixes, scoreboard and tab listCopy Anchor Link

• New: The scoreboard, tab list and prefix system can now be toggled fully independently (Scoreboard.Enabled, TabList.Enabled, PrefixSystem.Enabled)
• New: Config.MergeDefaults (default on): set it to false to stop removed ranks, templates and config keys from being added back on the next start
• Fixed: Nametags no longer require the scoreboard to be enabled
• Fixed: The clan tag is back in the tab list, and it now uses the colour the clan picked instead of always being gold
• Fixed: The custom tab list no longer requires the scoreboard to be enabled
• Fixed: Turning off the prefix system no longer affects the scoreboard or tab list, and rank prefixes are now removed everywhere (chat, tab name and over-head nametag)
• Fixed: /mues reload now re-reads ranks, prefixes and the chat format live, and refreshes scoreboard teams and tab names without a restart
• Fixed: A separate tabPrefix per rank now works independently of the chat prefix
• Fixed: Scoreboard lines that render identically no longer overwrite each other
• Fixed: A player's chat prefix and nametag no longer disagree when two ranks share the same priority
• Fixed: Two ranks whose names share a long start no longer share one prefix, and a rank with a negative priority no longer sorts to the top of the tab list
• Fixed: PlaceholderAPI placeholders in a rank prefix or suffix (for example %simpletags_tag%) are now expanded in chat instead of throwing a formatting error on every message
• Fixed: The tablist entry now shows the rank suffix as well, not just the prefix and name
• Fixed: A » in a scoreboard line is no longer replaced on every start, so you can keep it
• Updated: The sidebar is updated instead of being rebuilt every two seconds, and its placeholders are resolved once per player instead of once per line

TeamsCopy Anchor Link

• New: The team wand is taken back once you finish a claim. You can get a new one from the team menu
• Fixed: Claiming clears the stored selection, so a second /team claim can no longer create a duplicate claim
• Fixed: Team members can be invited, kicked, promoted and demoted by the name you see, including nicknames
• Fixed: Item frames, armor stands, paintings and vehicles are protected inside a claim

OtherCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed: Server data (balances, homes, warps, clans, nicknames) can no longer be corrupted when another plugin moves money from its own thread
• Fixed: /spawn used the warp countdown instead of its own
• Fixed: A home teleport now starts its cooldown after the teleport succeeded, not before
• Fixed: A new teleport request no longer expires because an older one timed out
• Fixed: Breaking one half of a double chest is detected reliably
• Fixed: A muted player can no longer bypass the mute with /msg
• Fixed: Warnings are cleared after an automatic ban, so the next warning does not ban again immediately

v1.0.14 (internal)Copy Anchor Link

v1.0.13 (2026-07-05)Copy Anchor Link

• New: Teleport combat cancel: /home, /spawn, /warp, /tpa and /rtp warmups now cancel when you take damage (Teleport.CancelOnDamage)
• New: /rtp now has a warmup countdown (RTP.TeleportCountdown) so it respects movement and combat cancels like the other teleports
